Meal- Chalet Christian, Alpe d'Huez

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.

BreakfastA good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon TeaThe traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.

Children’s High TeaIn Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in ChaletsA tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Chalet Christian Reviews

This was a very successful holiday. The skiing was excellent though the weather was hot and sunny and the resort runs were very shushy at the end of the day.

Chalet Christian was conveniently placed in the centre of the village and convenient to the 'yogurt pot' lift to the ski slopes. The accomodation was comfortable and clean. We were well looked after by the chalet staff and the food was good and plentiful. The complementary wines offered were very palatable.

My wife and myself are very fit senior citizens and members of the Ski Club of Great Britain. We went to Alpe d'Huez again (5th visit)because it has extensive and challenging skiing. We were not disappointed. We skied all week with the Ski Club and covered all the challenging black runs and mogul fields - including 'The Tunnel'.

We like to travel Sunday to Sunday as it is usually much less congested than on Saturdays. Also, I play hockey on Saturday and I miss only one game!

The only quibbles were having to drive to Gatwick as no flights were available from the Midlands (where we live) and the congestion at Chambrey airport - an unpleasant experience. I won't drive to Gatwick again - the journey is tedious and its not a nice airport.

Apres Ski: 3/5
